Houjicha - Organic

Our Organic Houjicha is certified by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries of Japan. The tea is grown with natural organic fertilizers and no agricultural chemicals or pesticides. Houjicha, also called Bancha, is made by roasting green Sencha tea leaves over high heat. This gentle heat creates a brownish tea leaf with a toasted nutty flavor. In Japan, Houjicha is commonly given to babies and people under the weather as it is low in caffeine and considered supportive of daily wellness.
